Daughter of the late Sachin Tendulkar, the batsman for the Indian National Cricket Team, Sara Tendulkar will be present at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday, October 19, for the IND vs. BAN ICC World Cup 2023 match.
Sara’s responses from the match, in which the camera was repeatedly moved in her direction, became popular on social media. Every time the Men in Blue got a wicket or hit a boundary, she would clap and shout for them.
One such instance occurred in the seventh over when Bangladesh National Cricket Team pacer Hasan Mahmud was hit for a boundary by star opening batsman Shubman Gill. Gill was bowled a ball by the pacer at a pace of 136.5 km/h. He attempted to smash the ball over mid-off, but the ball got an outside edge and moved towards the slips for a boundary. Sara clapped from the stands as she looked delightedly at the border.

Before the game, Shubman Gill told the official announcer that they had a strong winning momentum. Says he:
“For me, staying true to my roots is crucial. I had a tremendous experience playing my maiden World Cup match versus Pakistan in a fantastic environment. We’ve won three games, so we have the proper momentum.
Shubman Gill praised skipper Rohit Sharma even further, stating that he has performed admirably for India for a considerable amount of time. Says he:
“Everyone is aware of Rohit Sharma’s aggressive style of batting and his exceptional performance for India, particularly during World Cup games. He is simply maintaining his form and playing based on instincts.
“The wicket has been good, and the ground is smaller.” We’re hoping to get some significant runs so that our bowlers have something to defend. Playing well in the middle overs is crucial. You may really take advantage of the situation and score a lot of runs if you can avoid losing too many wickets.
While chasing the 257-run total, Rohit Sharma and Gill gave India a great start to the game. In the pair, Rohit Sharma was the more aggressive partner, letting Gill play to his strengths. They managed to put together 88 runs prior to Rohit Sharma being removed.
